In Hungary, lesbians and gays protest against the new constitution. In the version that is much more conservative and nationalistic than its predecessor, specifically a ban on marriage for gay and lesbian couples is committed.
Thus, a marriage in the new Hungarian constitution a connection "between a man and woman ". By contrast, Hungarian lesbian and gay organizations in the Coalition for lesbigay equality "(Megyék) teamed up to 15 April to protest outside the parliament building.
Also complain about the lesbian and gay activists that, while discrimination on grounds of sex, age, race or other reasons, but is not banned because of sexual orientation in the Constitution. Against the Constitution, they have already more than 700 signatures collected.
In Hungary, the situation for lesbians and gay men in recent years deteriorated: in the first years after the fall of our neighboring country was even known to be very tolerant of homosexual lifestyles, which was Budapest Pride, the largest gay and lesbian parade in central - and Eastern Europe. With the emergence of nationalist groups and becoming an increasingly conservative society suffered all minorities. The Budapest Pride can now only take place under massive police protection, there were also sporadic arson attacks on premises.
Legally, the situation is also limited: There are no registered partnership for same-sex couples, though, they have some rights that are due to all unmarried couples. Since 2002 there has been in our neighboring country a uniform age of consent at that time were also homosexuals admitted to the army.
